How to take a screenshot of the Watchy screen

Open Arduino/libraries/GxEPD2/src/GxEPD2_BW.h in the GxEPD2 library and add the following lines in the display() function

Serial.println("#####"); // Optional - easier to get a single frame to copy and paste 
for(int i=0; i<5000; i++){
  Serial.print("0x");
  if(_buffer[i] <= 0x0F){
    Serial.print("0");
  }
  Serial.print(_buffer[i], HEX);
  Serial.print(", ");
}
Serial.println("*****");  // Optional - easier to get a single frame to copy and paste

Within your watch face setup() function

Serial.begin(115200);
while (!Serial); // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB port on Arduino only

This should print out the buffer in the serial terminal

  • Copy the output and paste it here excluding any ##### or *****
  • Set the size to 200×200 px
  • Click on Read as horizontal
